…and another annoyance
I just got the shorts I ordered from da jungle.
I ordered navy blue- 3 pair- as navy counts as a neutral color to me.
They are not navy blue, they are purple.
I wouldn’t mind one pair of purple shorts, but three pair are a bit much.
Since they were under $5 each I guess I will keep them, but I am a bit annoyed.
Good call on y’all telling me to stay home. This morning one side of my head starting hurting again and my teeth on that side and neon green emissions so I believe a sinus infection has set up housekeeping. I called the Doc and requested antibiotics since I need to get my arse back to irk on Moanday. Why me??
I ordered groceries for delivery as I just can’t venture out. This is the first time and the order should be here anytime. I was gonna make spaghetti but hubby wants a steak so he is picking up steak and he can cook it too. Watched *Bohemian Rhapsody *. Pretty good movie.
**Baker **- Could you freelance? Well, yeah, you could, but would something like that interest you or are you looking for something steadier? Any fancy-pants restaurants around you where you could be creative and productive? Not that I know anything about such things - just feel a need to be helpful. Good luck!
**Butters **- good for you for staying home. Hope you’ll recover over the weekend!
I just finished a shawl and I think I’ll make another baby afghan next. Gotta keep my nimble fingers busy! 
If I was fifteen years younger, or even ten, I might do that. But at almost sixty-five it’s a little late.
What I do hope for is that whoever takes over doesn’t want to change things up, and I can keep working for a while as I have been… I would be more than willing to train someone to replace me. Not too many places do the scratch work we do.
It’s kind of scary. I haven’t looked for a job since 2001, when I came here. My previous job was also about to dissolve. I’d worked as a baker in the kitchen of a very prominent psychiatric hospital, and they were about to move to Texas. My own boss, whom I really liked, encouraged my current boss to hire me.
I’ve liked working here. Catering events can be exhausting, and customers can be wierd, but at least I haven’t had to deal with most of them up front. Hardest I ever worked was for a reception at the library that had almost six hundred guests. It was a little over a year after we opened, and the featured guest at the library’s grand opening was the First Lady of the United States, Laura Bush. We worked our fingers to the bone. The day before the event, and the day of, I worked a total of thirty-two hours. And I never even saw the woman. I was told she was very nice to deal with, and a pleasant person to talk to. My boss delivered food to the house where she was staying, and said she came out(this was very late at night), in her housecoat, to thank him for all the work.
Baker here’s hoping the new owners don’t change anything. And BTW I like fruitcake, good fruitcake. My poor Mama used to make fruitcake but as a child I did not appreciate it. A good fruitcake is not easy to find. Do you ever ship it? I would think it would ship OK. If so I may want to get one for Christmas.
The Doc did call in the antibiotics and I begged the pharmacist to please get it ready tonight. He said he would try. They close at 8 so hubby doesn’t know it yet but he has to go fetch. I am in my lounging clothes. I haven’t left this house since Moanday except for the Dr. It’s a hell of a way to get time off. I must get back to work on Moanday sick or not. By then I shouldn’t be contagious. I do not want to get anyone sick especially my pregnant girl.
Happy Weekend everyone.
Moooommmm Tell daughter congrats on new job.
Howdy Y’all! Majik intartoobz pizza got ingested and chillage has ensued. Beddy bye may be soon, however. Yeah, a couple of wild men on a Firday night are we!
CupCakes sorry about the job woes. Hopefully the new owner won’t make a bunch of changes and you can hang on for a while. He (She?) has to know how great you are at what you do.
MOOOOOOM Yay for FCDaughter!
{{{Butters}}} glad you stayed home today. Hope you were able to get the meds tonight.
sari I bet you look fabulous in purple shorts!
Hawaiian themed party, and we’re all getting lei-ed!
(((((**Cupcakes **)))))
((((**Butters **))))
I 'member dat.
Not in the Arctic; I’m in Samville.
BTW it’s Saturday; I’m already up from my nap & I’m going in search of the big bellied dude. 
Between the two of us Bessie was the responsible adult today ----- and the smarter one too! She got a fresh inspection sticker making her PENNDOT, if not USDA, prime. 
(Stopped past a buddy’s shop and he noticed her sticker was up in October making it legal for him to sticker her starting this month.)
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 79 Amurrkin out and clear (well, almost daylight) with a predicted high of 96 with mixed clouds and sun (Mostly N.O.S.? Mostly cloudy? 'Tis a mystery!). No big plans for the day for either of us. We like it that way. I do foresee some quality cee-mint pond time. Any need to feed will be via forage. There’s all kinds of sammich makin’s available.
Ruble yay for Bessie’s shiny new inspection sticker!
No word yet, so I guess we don’t need to start a gofundme for doggio’s bail.
Spidey have fun in Thailand. What’s it like in the future?
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, let us see what the day holds forth!
Happy Sattidy Y’all!
Been up since a bit after 3, mostly playing on my tablet. Around 6 I decided to just get up, so the critters have been tended and I’m breakfasting.
My big plan for today is mowing. It’s a glorious 62° right now and it’s not supposed to get stupid hot or humid so huzzah! I did laundry yesterday so daughter could hang diapers out today. The fresh air and sunshine are the best deodorizers!!
**FCD **wants to pack the car tonight so they can leave in the wee dark of the morning. I need to figure out how to track his cell phone. I hate to call while he’s driving, but I tend to worry. If I know where his phone is, I’ll know where he is and it’ll make me fret less. Theoretically… Other than that, no major plans for the day.
Happy Saturday!!
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to breakfast. Then the Cinvention meeting. Then the other Convention meeting. Then cocktails to dull the pain of meetings.
Yay for Bessie, **Ruble **!
**swampy **, nope no bail. But the weekend is young.
Morning all. Leave for soccer fields about 8:30am and should be back (one hopes) by 3:30pm. Busy, I’ll be. 30% chance of tunder-boomers and a high of 89F, so sweat is a given…blood and toil and tears (from the 5 year olds) are possiblities.
doggio, enjoy the Vention (and the booze) and depending how things go, always remember…https://www.teepublic.com/long-sleeve-t-shirt/4461072-warren-zevon-send-lawyers-guns-and-money-music-shi?utm_source=paid_search&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=PLA&utm_content=long-sleeve-t-shirt-sweatshirt-unisex&feed_sku=4461072D7V&ar_clx=yes&ar_channel=google_ads&ar_campaign=959377862&ar_adgroup=56762606543&ar_ad=352852431263&ar_strategy=search&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIosK3sKv44wIVRr7ACh3smw61EAQYAyABEgLlb_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
spidey, enjoy the trip and watch your wallet on Patpong street…
ruble, well, at least one responsible adult there…
Cupcakes, hope the job comes through; they should know they need a great baker.
Hang in their, Butters
And now need to prepare for the day at hand.
An odd weekend for for me, as I have no plans. Two days of freedom! I do need to clean my house, and at some point go to the barn. But nothing that has to be done on any timetable.
Butters, I feel your pain. I am prone to sinus infections especially in the summer. I just finished 10 days of antibiotics and Prednisone. The Prednisone e had a side effect of me not caring about anything. The house burned down? Whatever. Lost my job? Don’t care. It was very weird. I’m still a bit congested and see the ENT Tuesday for a followup.
Happy Saturday!
Home from the dog park, it was chilly out there. I wish I had worn long sleeves.
Supposed to be nice all weekend. I getting ready to open all the windows, which should have been done last night.
I don’t have any laundry to do that needs to be hung out. It would be a good day for it.
I woke at 4:30, so a nap is on the agenda for today.
I should go out and do some yard irk, and of course there is always something to do in the house.
First thing though, is open all the windows.
The good news is I know where the yellow jacket lair is. The bad news is I’ve got at least 4 new stings - nasty little bastards!!! The best news is - THEY DIE TONIGHT!!! **FCD **is out having his car cleaned and I asked him to bring back wasp spray. You’re supposed to use it at dusk when they settle in for the night. And so we shall. Bastards!
But the lawn is mostly mowed (except close to the lair of evil) and I’m showered and dressed more or less like an adult. I think when **FCD **and daughter are gone tomorrow, and Roxy goes to her other grandmother’s, I’m going to the ineptly named Great Big Home Show at the Hollywood VFD. We went a few years back and it’s not all that big and it certainly wasn’t great, but it’s free, so I’ll go check it out.
I think now I shall assume the knit position and try not to itch. Stoopit yellow jackets…
Upstairs is cleaned, load of sheets in the washer. Been to Wally World. Now watching a Shirley Temple movie. My Friend Flicka comes on later, which I must watch because it stars a chestnut mare. Maybe after that I will visit my own chestnut mare.
I can attest that Baker does indeed make a loverly fruitcake.
Sari, may we perchance see a pic of your new purple shorts, just for edification purposes. We won’t judge, I promise. 
Wifey is back from her adventure. Tomorrow she’s taking me over to see the [del]shack[/del] little house. We’ll see then if it has possibilities. From the pictures it looks to need a lot of work.
Mom, I’m not generally the bloodthirsty sort. but yellow jackets need to DIE! Do what you have to do. No mercy.
Now I need to go to BiMart. They left a message on the machine yesterday that one of us has a prescription ready to be picked up. Neither of us remembers having anything on order. 
I need to pick up laundry detergent anyway, so I’ll ask while I’m about it.
Put me on the “I like fruitcake” list.
What is it with purple shorts? ** Swampy** thinks I’ll look fabulous and Bumba wants to see pics.
I can assure all of you, I ain’t nothing special in purple shorts, or any other color shorts for that matter.
My big fear though is that somebody is going to think I am a ravens fan, and I HATE the ravens.
I took a good long 3+ hour nap and I feel alive again. I think I needed it.
Ripple left the mail at the bottom of the stairs, I guess he was too lazy to bring it up to me. Would have been a waste of his time since I don’t have any cheese in the bedroom.
I need to unload the dishwasher and put the dirty dishes in it. I’ll finish up the left over meatballs for dinner, there are only a few, and if I am still hungry I have lots of ham leftover from yesterday.
I want to order some hand towels for the bathroom. Every time my son replaces the towel on the rack by the sink he grabs whatever it closest, and that is usually a giant black bath sheet. Most of my towels are black, and he doesn’t check it to see what size it is, he just reaches in and grabs. I need something in a different color so I can specify which color towel to use to dry his hands. I just haven’t decided on a color yet, although I am leaning towards pale green, and buying a matching shower curtain and rug.
I need to get moving, the living room and my bedroom both need a good dusting and a good vacuuming. My son will be getting started on his 15 page paper soon. Which he should have started a long time ago. It’s due on Firday and is going to be a lot of irk. I told him he’d better not wait until the last day and then expect me to proofread it after irk on Firday night. Next week is going to be another 80 hour irk week, irk has asked me to put in as much time as possible, and I am going to be both tired and grumpy.
I forgot to pick up my scripts yesterday, and again today. The store is right by the dog park, I hope I remember on the way home tomorrow.
